How should potentially poisonous products, including medications be stored within Children’s Services to safeguard children’s health and safety?
It is extremely important that all poisonous products, including medications are stored safely in a children’s service. The majority of poisoning cases
Store all potential poisons out of sight and out of reach of children in cupboards with child-resistant locks and at least 1.5metres above the ground.
Store medications in child-resistant cabinets or containers, including those that require refrigeration – never leave children’s medications in their bags.
Store poisonous substances in their original container.
Where substances are not in original container ensure they are clearly marked and that the original information on chemical content and poisons information is kept in an accessible place.
Childcare centres are required to keep a register hazardous chemical used, handled or stored in the workplace
The register must be prepared and kept up-to-date at the workplace and must also include the current SDS for each of these chemicals.
The register must be readily available to all workers who use or may be affected by the chemicals at the workplace.
The register must include:
Identification
Hazard(s) identification
Composition and information on ingredients
First-aid measures
Fire-fighting measures
Accidental release measures
Handling and storage
Exposure controls and personal protection
Physical and chemical properties
Stability and reactivity
Toxicological information
Ecological information
Disposal considerations
Transport information
Regulatory information
Any other relevant information
Medications
Store medicines immediately after they have been bought. Keep them out of reach and out of sight
of your child, in a cabinet or cupboard1,5 mts above the ground.
While medicines and other products are in use never leave them in reach of a child, not even for
a minute or two.Do not confuse your child by referring to
medicines as ‘lollies’; they may sometimes look the same in shape, size and colour. Resist
the temptation to use medicine dispensers, such as measuring cups, as toys.
Check the correct medication and dosage with your doctor or pharmacist and carefully read the
label. More than the recommended dose may be harmful.
Dispose of unwanted and out-of-date medicines and chemicals safely by returning them to the
pharmacy.
Refrigerators are not a safe storage location.When it is necessary to store medicines in the fridge, store in a small locked medicine box.
Children tend to imitate adults, so avoid taking medicines in their presence.
Avoid giving non-prescription medications routinely without consulting a doctor or
pharmacist.
Handbags are not a safe storage location, visitors bags might contain medicine, Always keep them put of their reach.
Household products:
Consider alternative cleaning products, for example a mixture of vinegar and bicarbonate
of soda will effectively clean most surfaces.
Store dangerous products in a high cupboard with a child resistant lock.
Leave chemicals in their original containers,
do not use drink bottles.
Store food separately from cleaning products and chemicals.
Choose containers with child resistant closures.
Lock garden sheds and garages.
Dishwashing machine
Buy dishwashing powder or liquid in child resistant containers. They are corrosive and
can severely burn if swallowed.
Put detergent in the machine last and close the door immediately.
Keep children away while adding detergent to the machine.
When emptying the machine, check for leftover powder or liquid.
Choose a dishwasher with a child resistant lock or purchase an adhesive lock to prevent access by toddlers-
Plants
Remove all poisonous plants from your garden.
If you are unsure of the correct names of the plants you have in your garden, take a small
piece to your local nursery for identification.

Re: storage of potentially posonous products workbook 2 question 006 Q4
What I couldn't find in your response is the correct labeling of poison liquids. In my opinion you need to write more about that. Add also that you keep those products out of the room (in the laundry in a locked cupboard out of reach of children ).
Regarding to the medicines add that the fridge should be outside the room. All medicines should be kept in the office in the locked cupboard or the fridge.

Re: Storage Of Potentially Poisonous Products
Hi Silvina,
Your assessor isn't really given you a break! You added a lot of detail that seemed necessary to the question because the questions asked "how you would store dangerous products". Your information is valid...
Anyway since your assess or claims it's too much information maybe something as simple as:
Ensure that medications are stored in the refrigerator in a labelled and locked medication container with the key kept in a separate location, inaccessible to children. For medications not requiring refrigeration, they will be stored in a labelled and locked medication container with the key kept inaccessible to children.

For question Unit 3 002 Q2 H the new answer is
What is the minimum qualification of the person who is responsible for the preparation and cooking of food at the center?
The minimum qualification is certificate 3 in early childhood education and care.
If meals are prepared and provided to children on the premises of an education and care service, clause 54 of the Children (Education and Care Services) Supplementary Provisions Regulation 2004 requires the service to employ a qualified cook. In this context, a person is a qualified cook if they hold a certificate showing they have successfully completed Australian Qualification Framework (AQF) competencies through a registered training organization, in
• menu planning and
• nutrition and
• safe food handling
provided the menu planning competency or nutrition competency is from an AQF hospitality or health course.

Tick the one level of supervision required?How should potentially poisonous products, including medications be stored within Children’s Services to safeguard children’s health and safety?
It is extremely important that all poisonous products, including medications are stored safely in a children’s service.
Store all potential poisons out of sight and out of reach of children in cupboards with child-resistant locks and at least 1.5metres above the ground.
Store medications in child-resistant cabinets or containers, including those that require refrigeration – never leave children’s medications in their bags.
Store poisonous substances in their original container.
Where substances are not in original container ensure they are clearly marked and that the original information on chemical content and poisons information is kept in an accessible place.
For Early Childhood Educators to follow safe work practices they must:
Follow workplace policies and procedures for safe work practices
Identify existing and potential hazards in the workplace, report them to designated persons, and record them according to workplace procedures
Follow workplace emergency procedures
Suggested ways to reduce the risk of poisoning
You can reduce the risk of poisoning by the safe storage and safe use of medications and poisonous substances.
Medications
Store medicines immediately after they have been bought. Keep them out of reach and out of sight of your child, in a cabinet or cupboard above the ground.
While medicines and other products are in use never leave them in reach of a child, not even for a minute or two.
Do not confuse your child by referring to medicines as ‘lollies’; they may sometimes
look the same in shape, size and colour. Resist the temptation to use medicine dispensers, such as measuring cups, as toys.
Check the correct medication and dosage with your doctor or pharmacist and carefully read the label. More than the recommended dose may be harmful.
Dispose of unwanted and out-of-date medicines and chemicals safely by returning them to the pharmacy.
Refrigerators are not a safe storage location. When it is necessary to store medicines in the fridge, store in a small locked medicine box.
Children tend to imitate adults, so avoid taking medicines in their presence.
Avoid giving non-prescription medications routinely without consulting a doctor or pharmacist.
Handbags are not a safe storage location.

of soda will effectively clean most surfaces.
Store dangerous products in a high cupboard with a child resistant lock.
Leave chemicals in their original containers,
do not use drink bottles.
Store food separately from cleaning products and chemicals.
Choose containers with child resistant closures.
Lock garden sheds and garages.
Dishwashing machines
Buy dishwashing powder or liquid in child resistant containers. They are corrosive and can severely burn if swallowed.
Put detergent in the machine last and close the door immediately. Keep children away while adding detergent to the machine.
When emptying the machine, check for leftover powder or liquid.
Choose a dishwasher with a child resistant lock or purchase an adhesive lock to prevent access by toddlers.
label poisonous liquids
Keep the dishwashing powder or liquid outside of the room in a laundry locked away fro children.
Plants
Remove all poisonous plants from your garden.
If you are unsure of the correct names of the plants you have in your garden, take a small
piece to your local nursery for identification.
All product's should be put of the room, out of the reach of children, locked away. Label and secured.
